Nothing on the walls. Heat only the rooms you use. Slim white PowerBoard panels on the ceiling warm people and everything in the room directly, instead of heating the air first. Supplied and installed across the UK.
Truro is Cornwall's only city, dominated by its three-spired Cathedral and a TR-postcode housing market that runs from listed Georgian terraces in Lemon Street to Victorian merchant houses in Tregolls and modern estates at Threemilestone. Cornwall Council has set a 2030 net-zero target and a high share of TR-postcode properties sit off the mains gas network, relying on oil deliveries, LPG or electric storage heaters. South-west coastal winters here are mild - averaging around 6°C - but the salt-laden Atlantic air is hard on traditional pipework. PoweRad's Truro installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across TR1 to TR4, with particular experience in second homes, holiday lets and listed properties near the Cathedral. There's no oil tank, no flue and no annual boiler service.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Truro and nearby areas including Plymouth, Exeter and Falmouth. With local homes typically rated EPC D, moving from storage heaters or an ageing gas system to room-by-room infrared is a straightforward way to lift comfort and efficiency.
No boiler, no radiators, no pipework. Slim electric panels sit flat on the ceiling and warm the room the same way the sun warms you.
Around 3cm thin and out of sight overhead. They free up every wall, and there is nothing for children or pets to touch.
Infrared warms the walls, floor and furniture directly, the way sunshine does. The warmth is even from floor to ceiling and does not vanish the moment a door opens.
Panels reach full output in under 10 minutes and every room is controlled separately, so you only ever heat the rooms you are using.
The numbers that shape heating bills in Truro, Cornwall.
68% of Truro's 9,500 households heat with gas, and the average energy bill runs about £142 a month. Replacing an ageing gas system with room-by-room infrared panels can cut heating costs by up to 40%, and a free remote heat-loss survey shows your like-for-like numbers before you spend a penny. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Truro homes still run ageing warm-air units, gas boilers or LPG systems that cost more every year to fuel, service and repair. Infrared ceiling panels are the modern electric replacement: no pipework, no flue, no annual service. Panels are fitted room by room, usually in 1-2 days, and every room gets its own thermostat so you stop heating empty space.
Panels are independent of the existing pipework, so you can switch over room by room and cap the old system when it suits you.
No annual gas safety check, no boiler service contract, no parts to fail. A 10-year product warranty instead.
A free remote heat-loss survey gives you a like-for-like running cost comparison against your current system before you decide anything.

Understanding Truro's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Truro is Cornwall's only city and gets some of the mildest winters of any UK city - averages around 6°C - but persistent salt-laden Atlantic weather drives over 1,000mm of annual rainfall. The Allen and Kenwyn river-valley location brings morning fog through autumn and winter.
The TR-postcodes mix listed Georgian terraces in Lemon Street and around the Cathedral, Victorian merchant houses in Tregolls, and the modern estates at Threemilestone and Highertown. A high share of TR-postcode properties sit off the mains gas network, and many are second homes or holiday lets.
Cornwall Council has set a 2030 net-zero target and a high share of TR-postcode properties rely on home heating oil, LPG or electric storage heaters. Cornwall has one of the highest rooftop-solar adoption rates in the UK as a result of long-running Cornwall Council and Solar Together schemes.
The defining Truro problems are oil-tank reliance in off-grid housing, holiday-let control (heat for arrival but not for the empty days between), and salt corrosion on coastal-exposed gas appliances. Infrared with smart thermostats addresses all three.
